From Press TV:
Republicans in the US House of Representatives have introduced a measure that would green-light a possible Israeli bombing campaign against Iran.
Resolution 1553 provides explicit support for military strikes against Iran, stating that Congress backs Israel’s use of ‘all means necessary’ against Iran, “including the use of military force,” BBC Persian reported.
The introduction of the measure coincides with a pattern of renewed calls for military strikes that have escalated since President Obama signed Congressional Iran sanctions into law.
What is the immediate threat on Iran to the US or the world? Is it because of their Nuclear arms program? Could there be any other alternative to contain this situation instead of going to war? it is affecting the whole world. Tensions in that area are already so thick you can already touch it. War is not the solution!
obama should atleast make up with something good about the conflicts,Iranian president is a ghost walking,his days are numbered,give him just six months…he will be found wanting.
Republicans are the minority in both houses of the U.S. Congress. They are simply going on record, although I am certain that if Republicans were the majority, they would at least attempt to follow up. I wish our Congress was more decisive. Today, instead of declaring war, they 'authorize' the use of force. This way, they can change their minds, just in case. They don't have to follow the war to its conclusion if they don't want to.
As much as I would like our government to back this measure up, I find it most improbable that anything will come from it. I just do not see President Obama backing Israel up in just about any conflict.
